Lavender (Lavandula) is a Mediterranean plant, long and
widely valued for its clean, fresh, and wonderful scent.
Lavender's beautiful soft-purple color is also featured
decoratively in gardens and floral arrangements.
This Mediterranean herb's name comes from the Latin
lavare, which means to wash. Indeed, the ancient
Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans used lavender for washing.
Today, the scent of lavender is often found in soaps and cleaning
products as well as in confectionary and pastry.
